The RKGIsrlR of the 18th Inst. in referring to
the lola Ring, and to prove that there was
none, gives Iola's vote on selling the Pool
Farm, 397 against and 81 for. A pretty good
proof of the existence of the Ring, and also sug-
gests its size-just 5l.-Union.
Let's see. The records show that
Humboldt's vote on selling the Poor
Farm was $50 against and eighty-siz
for /! Isn't that pretty good proof Of
the existence of the Humboldt ring 2

Money has been raised, at least
pledged, by those interested in the re-
mOval of the county seat to LaHarpe,
with which to bride one Of the lola pa
pers to advocate the removal. This
we know positively. The parties in
trusted with the negotiations knew
better than to approach the REGIS
TER, but we know that they did ap-
prOach one, if not both of the other pa
pers, with petition to pay them a
large sum if they would champion the
cause of LaHarpe. Does q cause which
is "the spontaneous demand of the
people" require to be forwarded by
such means?
Upon returning home Oh New Years
eve after Watch Meeting, Rev. X NJ.
Scott and wife found the parsonage al
ready taken possession of by a large
part of his congregation who had come
provided with various articles that
conduce to carnal comfort. After the
greetings were over the surprises"
were called up and confronted by J. L.
Henderson who with a few appropri-
ate words presented them with purse,
or rather glass jar, containing Sl6.5O.

ed by all who were 80 fortunate as to

We have also understood that this same ele-
ment had put its big foot dswn and said to him,
"YOU MUST" and as soon as that was done

We again assert that neither Capt.
Ewing nor his attorneys nor any other
person whomsoever has ever attempt
ed in any way, directly or indirectly,
to influence the utterances Of the REG.
IsTER in the matter of the contest.
We make this assertion as positive and
sweeping as words can make it. lift
is untrue the Democrat can easily show
it to be so. If it is true the Democrat
should have the decency to admit that
it was mistaken.
